Aires Air Purifier

red dot award: product design 2009

A pebble that has been polished smooth by the water inspired the designers of this air purifier. The basic motif also expresses the intention to reflect the green device properties in its appearance. The striking recess at the upper edge deliberately interrupts the harmonious lines and refers to the place where the air flow is drawn into the filter system. When in operation the actual status of the air cleaning process is indicated through light interactions. To express the naturalness of materials at the surface of the device a matt ABS colour layering was applied. Attention was also paid to an environment-friendly manufacture. Efficient design maxims achieved a cost reduction of 25 percent without any loss of quality. The interior of the device is freely accessible. The self-contained and compact corpus consists of a minimal three-part construction.
